CM 5th Graders Participate in JA Biztown
January 10, 2025
CM 5th graders have been participating in a Junior Achievement program called Biztown. JA BizTown combines daily lessons with a day-long visit to a simulated town. During the classroom lessons, students learn about financial literacy, community and economy, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship. The students even participated in the election process to elect our town Mayor and District Attorney. Each student completed a job application and resume to learn about the job hiring process. They went through the interview process to be hired for their specific job within a business. The interviews were conducted by Penn Manor administrators and parent volunteers. This program teaches students about life skills in a unique and engaging way that we hope they never forget!

What a treat! Central Manor Elementary students enjoyed learning about drumming music from around the world this week in an amazing “Dancing Drum” assembly.

The Breneman family spoke about fruits and vegetables that are grown on our local farms. Manor FFA high school students came with two goats and the Frey family brought a baby pig for students to see when learning about hog farming. This week students visited the Harnish dairy farm and were able to see the milking process. Thank you to all our community members who visited and presented about Lancaster County farming.

CM Family Time
CM Family Time
September 27, 2024
A family can be described as a group of people, children and adults, functioning together as a unit to support one another and encourage each other to be the best person you can be. Our new school wide initiative to help build a sense of community is the creation of OUR CM FAMILIES. How do our CM families work? Each student was randomly assigned a ‘family.’ A staff member is in charge of a family. This staff member is the family leader. Families will come together and meet at the end of each month to focus on our character education traits. The goal is to build a sense of belonging and community within our school. Later this year, our families will join together with other families and form a neighborhood for special activities. Our first family meeting was September 25th. Ask your child about their family leader? Did they have fun meeting new friends during their family time?
